Pat Burrell’s two-out,
two-run double in the eighth broke up a tie
ballgame, as the Phillies held on to beat
Milwaukee and split their two-game series.
On in relief of Jamie Moyer – who allowed one run
over six innings – Tom Gordon pitched out of a
bases-loaded jam in the seventh. Then, J.C. Romero,
Ryan Madson and Brad Lidge (S, 5) combined for two
shutout innings to preserve the win. Jayson Werth
accounted for the Phillies’ other run with a solo
shot in the sixth. Ryan Howard, who started the game on
the bench, ended up with two at bats and struck out
both times.
Burrell’s torrid April continues as he rises to
the occasion again w/RISP. As for the ‘pen,
they’ve pitched 14.0 scoreless innings over the
Phils’ last five games. So far, the front office
rally cry appears to be correct in saying they like the
way the bullpen sets up at the back-end.
